Carlos Spencer is a living legend, who on form was unstoppable. He's changed the game with his spontaneity on the field, and the 'banana reverse chip kick' (seen quite a bit these days) was his creation. A hard man, and a huge talent.

It's a pity he left New Zealand when he did, but then again, Dan Carter has been a more than capable replacement for the All Blacks, even though he's a totally different type of player.

This try shows the cockiness and pure confidence of the man. I love the way he walked all the way over to the corner and took his time putting the ball down. Brilliant.

Just a thought...someone please correct me here if I'm mistaken, but one of the crusaders could have simply run into one of the players in the tryzone and forced an obstruction call...since Spencer was carrying the ball at all times. I don't know if the law is different in the tryzone than on the rest of the pitch, but I'm pretty sure that they're in "offsides" positions (unless the concept of "offsides" goes away within the tryzone...).Anyways, hindsight is always 20/20.

Let's see, up by 2, about to score under the posts and kick an easy convert, which I think makes it a 9 point differential, nahh I'd say that's being cocky and rubbing it in, not just running down the clock. His teammates look almost uncomfertable walking behind him.

That being said, brilliant try and big balls to pull that one off. That being said as well, I always felt that King Carlos's attitude did not match up to his skills. He was the most talented player of his generation, but was not as committed to winning and thus will never be remembered as being as great as DC or Jonny.

I liked the way he played the game in terms of his skills, I hated his prima donna anti rugby ethos attitude.
